Two-Way Feedback

Track all simulation events with the two-way feedback event log — alerts, student responses, and codes with timestamps.

Two-Way Feedback

The two-way feedback system provides a real-time event log on the instructor device, tracking all communication and actions during a scenario. Every alert sent, student response, and code called is recorded with a timestamp for review and debriefing.

Event Log Panel

The event log appears in the bottom-left corner of the instructor screen. It displays a chronological list of events that occur throughout the scenario.
